“Are you a shipwreck or a clipper? Shipwrecks allow the environment to swell, swamp and consume them. Clippers ride out the storm, until blue waters, brilliant sunshine and favourable winds return!”

“Don't care what other people think. The people you care about, care about what they think!”

Daryl Elliott Green
“Stubbornness in quantity, has a quality all of its own.”

“Plenty of people will tell you what you cannot do. What truly counts. It is what you tell yourself you can do.”

“THINK before you DO. DO before you THINK – this is when the police show up!”

“I'm not the strongest, I'm not the fastest, I'm not the smartest, but I have a tendency not to give up easily - don't you!”

“Pushing people down is easy, amoral and destructive. Lifting people up is challenging, righteous and rewarding for everyone!”

Daryl Elliott Green
“To keep going, never give up and never lose hope. Always have a plan. If you have a plan, you have hope.”

Daryl Elliott Green
“Be a person of action. Thoughts and words alone did not put man on the moon.”

“When things really go pear-shaped, learn to appreciate the simple things in life, like chocolate frogs.”

DARYL ELLIOTT GREEN

From the horrific experience of being ambushed on duty and TWICE SHOT in the face and shoulder, Daryl has learned what most people don't have to learn: how to be resilient in the face of the extreme circumstances.

The legacy of Daryl’s shooting was a harrowing ten year road to recovery despite being honoured with the Queensland Police Service’s highest accolade for bravery, the Valour Award, and a Group Bravery Citation from the Governor-General, Sir Peter Cosgrove. His journey was also featured on Australian Story.

Today, Daryl shares powerful life lessons through his TWICE SHOT talks, workshops and programs. He speaks on resilience, courageous conversations, leadership and brave decisions. He also talks passionately – and from personal experience – about mental health and post-traumatic stress. He delivers his life lessons with energy, humour and an optimism that engages with any audience. He is a compelling and authentic speaker who epitomises the capabilities of the human spirit that reside in us all: bravery, courage, resilience.

The morning of the May Day holiday in 2000 brought the horrific news of the Hanbury Street shooting in Queensland. The night before, a neighbour in Hanbury Street had made a triple zero call, reporting threats by a man known as Nigel Parodi, who had a number of guns and “loads and loads of ammo”. Daryl and two other officers arrived at the scene and were seated in a patrol vehicle commencing their investigation, when out of the darkness they were ambushed and shot multiple times at close range.
